error message : stream closed

Upon running following code under class FlightSearch

String moreSearch = \"y\";
    List resultList;

Answer 1

The problem

The problem is that you execute the br.close() that, as javadoc states, closes the stream and releases any system resources associated with it.

Just for a quick verification comment out the:

if (br != null) {
//    try {
//        br.close();
//    } catch (IOException e) {
//        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
//        e.printStackTrace();
//    }
}

and you can answer s any times you want without any exception.

A solution

A solution is closing the buffer reader after all reads are terminated:

    String moreSearch = null;
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
    try {
        do {
            // ...
            System.out.println("More Flight Query ? Press n/N to exit. Anyother key to continue searching.");
            moreSearch = br.readLine();
        } while (!moreSearch.equalsIgnoreCase("n"));

    } catch (IOException e) {
        Logger.getLogger(FlightSearch.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, "Cant read line from a System.in based BufferedReader", e);
    } finally {
        if (br != null) {
            try {
                br.close();
            } catch (IOException ignoreMe) {
                Logger.getLogger(FlightSearch.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, "Can't close a System.in based BufferedReader", ignoreMe);
            }
        }
    }
